Meatloaf The Pioneer Woman Food

SHEET PAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a half-sheet pan with cooking spray and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs, which will absorb the juices during cooking.
• Pour the milk over the bread in a bowl and allow it to soak up the milk. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, seasoned salt, parsley and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the eggs. With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
• Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared sheet pan, spreading all the way to the edges and corners.
• Next, make the glaze: Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl until well combined. Brush the mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Sprinkle with the bacon.
• Bake until the meat is cooked through and slightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, then cut into squares and serve with the mashed potatoes. Garnish with the chopped parsley.

CHEESEBURGER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a broiler pan with nonstick spray.
• Mix together the bread and milk in a bowl and set aside.
• Add the ground beef, bacon, eggs, chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large bowl. Add the soaked bread and mix with your hands, trying to keep the mixture light. Gently mix in the cubed Cheddar, making sure to distribute it evenly throughout the meat.
• Form the meat mixture into a loaf approximately 6 to 8 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches thick on the prepared pan. Mix the grated yellow onion with the remaining 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in another bowl. Spread half of the sauce on top of the meatloaf. Tent the pan with foil and bake for 1 hour.
• Remove the foil, add the rest of the sauce and continue baking until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F and the meatloaf is no longer pink in the middle, another 35 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle on the grated Cheddar and return to the oven for 5 minutes to melt. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before removing to a platter.
• Slice and serve with the sliced red onions and dill pickle chips.

BACON-WRAPPED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Pour the milk over the bread in a large bowl and let soak a few minutes. Use your fingers to smush up the bread into little pieces.
• Add the beef, eggs, carrots, parmesan, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to the bread mixture. Knead with your hands until everything is completely mixed.
• Place the meat mixture on a foil-lined baking sheet and form it into a loaf shape. Arrange the bacon slices on the meatloaf, overlapping slightly. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 160˚ on a meat thermometer and the meatloaf is no longer pink in the middle, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the tomatoes with their juices, brown sugar, mustard powder, cayenne and Worcestershire sauce in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer, partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened but still saucy, about 30 minutes.
• Cut the meatloaf into thick slices and top with the sauce. Serve with green beans.
